Chapter 321 The Capable Little Fox
Sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Xu Ying was curled up on the sofa petting a fox when he suddenly heard the sound of splashing water coming from the courtyard.
She looked up and saw the fat caracal squatting by the pool, staring at the water with a serious face, as if thinking about some philosophical question.
It slowly leaned over, stretched out its pink tongue to lick the water, and its round body leaned forward slightly with the movement - then, without any warning, its center of gravity tilted, and with a "splash", its entire furry face fell directly into the shallow water!
Its chubby butt was raised high, and its two hind legs kicked around in the air, just like a stuffed toy that had accidentally fallen over.
"Hahahaha——" Xu Ying couldn't help laughing out loud, and Fox Xiaowu in his arms was also awakened, tilting his head to look out the window.
The caracal raised its head from the water in a panic, its wet facial fur all stuck together, making its eyes look even rounder and more confused.
It shook its head, splashing water everywhere, then sat up straight as if nothing had happened, pretending that nothing had happened, and even licked its paws in a pretentious manner.
Xu Ying laughed so hard that tears almost came out: "With such acting skills, it would be a waste of talent if she didn't become a comedian!"
Fox Xiaowu also made a "嘤" sound to show his agreement, and the tip of his tail wagged happily.
Xu Ying was holding Fox Xiaowu and rubbing its soft belly when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
When she turned around, she saw four furry creatures squatting in a row behind her - Fox Lao was puffing his cheeks angrily, Fox Erniu was pulling at the hem of her nightgown with his claws, Fox Sansan's tail tip was curled into a question mark in grievance, and Fox Sibao's ears were drooping.
Four pairs of wet fox eyes stared at her, as if saying: [Sister, why are you only holding Xiaowu and not me, Meng!]
"Oh!" Xu Ying hurriedly scooped up the five little balls into his arms, and instantly felt like he was wearing a moving fox fur coat.
Fox Xiaowu was squeezed and let out a "meow" sound, and his furry head popped out from her collar. The other foxes immediately rushed to get into her arms.
After Xu Ying sucked on the fox for a while, she said, "I'm going to take a bath."
After Xu Ying returned to the villa in the early morning, he took a quick shower in a daze and fell asleep.
This morning I thought of taking a morning bath to relieve some muscle stiffness.
The little fennec foxes quickly said, "Sister, you've worked hard on the surgery. I'll prepare some bath water for you."
[Sister, go find some clothes, we'll prepare them for you!]
The five little foxes started to move as they spoke.
In a blink of an eye, five orange-pink figures were busy in the bathroom.
The fox boss jumped lightly onto the gold-plated faucet, kicked the tile wall with his hind legs, and grasped the handle with his front paws to move it towards the aromatherapy device placed diagonally opposite the bathtub - this was what Assistant Qin taught him last week.
[Warm water should go to the aromatherapy mark here! ]
It shook its big ears proudly, and hot water gushed out immediately.
There was a muffled "bang" from the other side of the bathtub. Fox Erniu was pushing his head against the locker door, his round butt sticking up high.
The moment the cabinet door popped open, colorful bath salt balls rolled out. It immediately wrapped its tail around the starry sky bath ball and jumped to the edge of the bathtub by stepping on the storage rack like an acrobat. The bubbles splashed when the bath ball entered the water covered its face.
The "click" sound of the refrigerator door was mixed with the rustling sounds of people stealing food.
Fox Four and Fox Five were rummaging through the refrigerator like a stack of Arhats. The moment the sandwich bag was torn open by their sharp claws, a greedy fox quickly snatched away the bacon slices, but Fox Three jumped up and slapped him on the forehead.
[This is my sister's breakfast!]
Fox Sansan held a napkin in his mouth as an apron and placed milk and sandwiches on a tray across the bathtub.
When Xu Ying, wrapped in a coral fleece robe, pushed open the bathroom door, the aroma of rose essential oil was spreading in the air with the steam.
Pink and white petals just scattered by the fox boss were floating on the surface of the bathtub. On the walnut tray across the bathtub, the sandwich was cut into cute triangles, and milkshake foam was hanging on the edge of the glass.
Five wet paw prints stretched from the edge of the bathtub to her feet—Hu Erniu was using his tail to roll up a bath towel and was hanging it on the rack when he saw this and slipped and fell.
"Wow, thank you guys! You're so talented!"
Xu Ying squatted down and kissed each of the furry heads one by one. When his fingertips touched the sauce left by Hu Sibao, he knocked on Sibao's little head speechlessly.
The moment she stepped into the bathtub, five warm little bodies immediately took their places: Fox Boss squatted next to the waterproof tablet stand, swiping with his paw to bring up the medical drama she had been following recently; Fox Sansan pushed the rubber duck to her side; Fox Erniu, who was most afraid of water, squatted on the non-slip mat, staring at the bathroom timer seriously.
I heard that the longest bath time should not exceed 40 minutes!
As the warm water flowed over her shoulders, Xu Ying sighed in comfort. The tip of her nose was filled with the relaxing fragrance of flowers. Her shoulders and neck, which had become stiff from standing for a long time during surgery, gradually relaxed in the warm water.
She took a bite of the shrimp sandwich with a soft-boiled egg, drank milk and watched TV series. The bath was so moisturizing.
"Tick, tick," the sound of the timer mingled with the foxes' snores. When the twenty-five-minute electronic bell rang, the eldest fox immediately nudged her wrist with his nose: "Sister, it's time to get up!"
Five pairs of paws hurriedly handed over the bath towel, and Fox Xiaowu even considerately spread out the slippers.
The afternoon sunlight has filled the entire bathroom.
Xu Ying wiped her hair and looked at the mirror. Five little foxes were squeezed in the frame, tilting their heads towards her, like a string of furry exclamation marks.
She suddenly bent down, buried her face in Fox Sansan's fur and took a deep breath - the fatigue from seven hours of surgery turned into fluffy and warm happiness.
"The battery is fully charged!" She lifted Fox Sansan and spun around.
Xu Ying picked up the hair dryer to blow dry her hair. Her fingers touched the brand logo engraved on the body of the hair dryer. After a closer look, she found that it was a new model of a high-end brand, with a starting price of at least five thousand.
She raised her eyebrows, thinking that Miss Qiao was indeed very rich and inhumane, even a hair dryer in the villa was so expensive.
The hot wind was blowing, she quickly dried her hair, changed her clothes and went out.
She had to go to the animal hospital to visit the white crane that had just undergone prosthetic limb surgery.
*
When Xu Ying pushed open the door of the ward, the scene in front of him made his eyes light up - the injured white crane was lying on a specially made bed, and next to it stood a slightly smaller female crane, which should be the partner that the white crane was concerned about.
What’s even more adorable is that there are three furry little guys huddled in the corner, and they are obviously their cubs.
"Our hospital has just opened and a white crane has moved in. What a good omen!" said Su Xiao, the accompanying veterinary assistant, excitedly. "Master Xu, look at this ward. Doesn't it feel like a fairyland?"
Xu Ying nodded, his eyes attracted by the female crane.
It looks particularly elegant when standing on one leg, its snow-white feathers are clean and shiny, its slender neck is bent into a beautiful arc, and the tuft of red feathers on its head looks like a small crown.
